One thing that irks me is when like hobby YouTubers gloss over the programming. They'll spend ten minutes showing you every solder joint and then go "then I programmed it" and show 5 seconds of them typing.
It is hard to make the process of programming entertaining to a wide audience because a lot of programming occurs in the mind. While some people are interested, many aren't, and youtubers prioritise the retention graph.
TodePond is the only YouTuber I can think of that does this. His videos were initially about the custom programming language he made for his 3D simulation game, and slowly evolve from being in-depth tutorials on how to use it to being programming fever dreams.
